Bf109G-10/R5 (with 20mm pods).

[Moose]

Curious if anyone knows of any pictures or examples of a Bf109G-10 with underwing 20mm gun pods. It would be designated Bf109G-10/R5 (vs R6 earlier in the war, such as Bf109G-6/R6). They were probably rare, but supposedly existed. Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, there is a photo of a belly-landed one on page 163 of Prien and Rodeike.

I think I saw that one earlier today on a facebook page. Had a "9" on the fuselage. From the Erla factory, I believe.

I think I have a couple of pictures of a Bf-109 with the 20mm cannon pod. Please see the attached. We have a wing panel with the cannon mount (but not the cannon).

Thank you. Looking for G-10's specifically.
